This week was truly miraculous! I am starting to believe it is impossible to write everything I want to when I write these emails, so I will do my best, but so much good stuff is happening, it will be pretty much impossible!
I can hardly believe we are midway through July now, time is flying by way way waaaay to fast. This week was filled with learning opportunities, chances to grow, miracles, and amazing miracles. Everyday of the week was memorable, and so I think I will go and tell the story day by day:
Monday: It was p-day and so we went and played soccer with about 15 other missionaries, and while we were at the park, we ran into a group of guys who wanted to play. It turns out they has meet missionaries before, and they were interested in finding out more about the church, pretty amazing.
Tuesday: In the morning, we went and performed service at one of the member's homes, and while we there, her non-member husband came and talked to us for about an hour, and he was asking awesome q's and we really enjoyed getting to know him. That night we went to Mendy's house and had a lesson where the spirit was sooo strong. It was amazing, and Mendy was telling us how she has seen the changes occurring in her life.
Wednesday: We had an activity night where 5 kids who usually showed up came, and had a loads of questions about the church. They range from 9-14 years old, and are brothers and sisters. We gave them a Book of Mormon, and then on Sunday they.. well I will tell you on Sunday.
Thursday: Had an awesome lesson with Devon, the Jamaican, and he was telling us the difference he feels in his house when we are there versus when we leave. SWEET!
Friday: We went and visited Nicholas and 2 new Russian investigators, and all 3 lessons were powerful. Nicholas continues to progress and the Russians are sincerely interested in learning more.
Saturday: Saturday morning we had a sports activity with Mendy's fiancé, and a couple less actives in the ward, and it was awesome. Everyone that was there came to church the next day. Pretty successful and blessed. The rest of the day we got to run around town delivering Bibles that people had ordered, and we meet a lot of good people.
Sunday: Church on Sunday was perfect. We had all of our progressing investigators there, and the ward was really surrounding them with love and friendship. The 5 kids from activity came, and loved it. They told me about everything they read, and wanted more to read. The talks in sacrament meeting were powerful, and the Russian Sunday school class was another spiritually packed one. The day couldn’t have gone any nicer.

Questions for Elder Sky
1. How was your 2nd week of July? AMAZING!
2. Did you see any miracles this week? hmmm... yes!
3. Did you get a free Slurpee on Saturday? Maybe NY doesn’t have 7-Elevens. We have 7- elevens, but I completely blanked that it was 7/11. Which is funny because I remember last year wishing we could have gone in Russia. Oh well.
4. Does your back pack have room for one of those cool camel packs? Water holders? What kind would fit? yea, it has a pouch for a camel pack, that would be amazing.
5. Anything we can do for you? not that i can think of.
6. BONUS, this ones for YOU…… Is missionary work the best? YES!!!!!!
I'm sorry, i have used all the time, but I love all of you, and im so happy to be here at this time. The church is THE true church of Jesus Christ. check out Omni 1, near verse 26. He is bearing his testimony, and i totally agree with what he said.
Omni 1: 26 And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.
With love,
Elder T.O.
